Someone say screen shots? How about 2 for the price of one? (To be fair the T-34 on the right was I believe either disabled or possibly abandoned): and one short burst later:

Just saw it yesterday, excellent movie. Ironically, I had also just finished reading "The Fall of Berlin", but apparently a different version, by Anthony Read and David Fisher. Anyway, it was great to see the scenes and personalities brought to life, and with decent production qualities. They weren't long battle scenes, but still intense; and it was chilling to see the 12 year old boys and girls ready to die at the flak batteries. Ganz was fabulous, and I thought the Goebbels were both excellent as well. Weidling and Mohnke were well done, too. Overall there was a great feel of the impending doom and immenent... downfall... that awaited Berlin.

Yeah, the History Channel show about it had a Tiger driver who said you could steer with one finger, the power steering was so good.

Hmm, interesting timing me signing on about now. <--- see handle Anyway, I've got/read most of the books, but not all. I somehow acquired S.S. General here in the U.S. back in the mid-80's, but all the other ones were picked up used the last time I was in Britain in 1988. It's interesting how the US book is translated into, well, US english I guess; while the UK books read more like they're British troops, i.e. Tiny has a cockney accent.

How did they get them? Were they issued or did you have to acquire one personally?
